- The staff was very rude and tried to charge me twice. The room wasn't as clean as I expected, in fact the bathroom smelled badly. I was not happy with my stay.
In additon, the room service from their crabby bill's restaurant is awful. The food is mediocre and overpriced. They got my order wrong the first day I was there. I have never had such poor service from a hotel in my life. I have traveled quite a bit and usually have no complaints whatsoever with the hotels I stay. However, this was by far the worst service and I would NEVER recommend this hotel to anyone! « less

- We couldn't have asked for a better hotel to stay in while visiting Tampa. We needed close to the airport for my Hub as he had business there for a few days, we wanted a pool and exercise room and bar/restaurant...perfect.
First the rate, they had a 4 night special and we only paid roughly $70 a night...
The room was typical hotel size, the beds were super comfy, nice fluffy towels, everything was clean and worked properly including wifi.
I did on occasion use their business center & free coffee in the lobby...both were just right.
Our room was on the 6th floor (top of the building), water view...oh my gosh...
what A view!!!!!!!!!!!
Breakfast was not included but who cares, you could have it delivered to your room...or walk down to the restaurant.
The pool was at lovely temp and clean and my Son used the exercise room many times during our stay...
Each morning and night we sat on the balcony...watching the fish jump...it was soooo relaxing.
While the hotel itself is non-smoking...you can...and we did...smoke on the balcony...great when your room is 6 floors up :-)
While my Husband was working my Son & I decided to use the free shuttle and go to the Malls...bonus...great service and no problems.
One thing folks have to keep in mind, the bar/restaurant is a beach bar...so if you're expecting fine dining, it is not...but you'll live.
Overall, as I said...we couldn't have stayed at a better hotel, it suited all of our needs and helped us enjoy a comfortable 4 short days in Tampa. « less

- Conveniently located near the airport, malls and area attractions. At the water, but no real beach - more of a boat docking facility. Clean room and good service. Meals - Crabby Bills is the on-site restaurant, but the quality is seriously lacking.
Ask for a room on the 5th or 6th floor water view side. « less

- I arrived at the hotel late at night. The shuttle driver picked me up at the airport shortly after I called the hotel, he was very courteous. When I checked into my room I noticed a hand written welcome letter from the Director of Sales, I thought that was a very nice touch. The hotel room was very nice and clean. I especially liked the duvet style comforters. The bedding was crisp, looked sharp and smelled very fresh. When I woke up in the morning I enjoyed a very affordable breakfast in Crabby Bill's restaurant onsite (under $12.00) The front desk staff were friendly too. « less

- Hotel appears to have been recently updated. Much nicer than the supposedly 4 star hotel we stayed in last year on St. Petersburg beach and at less than half the price. Get a bay view room...definitely worth the few extra $$. « less
